It's A Great Life To Live

I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow
moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow
moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my hands
lose my plough, lose my land
Oh if I ever lose my hands
Oh if.. I won't have to work no more.

And if I ever lose my eyes
if my colours all run dry
Yes if I ever lose my eyes
Oh if I won't have to cry no more

I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow
moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow
moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my legs
I won't moan, and I won't beg
Yes if I ever lose my legs
Oh if I won't have to walk no more

And if I ever lose my mouth
all my teeth, north and south
Yes if I ever lose my mouth
Oh if I won't have to talk...

Did it take long to find me?
I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me?
And are you gonna stay the night?

I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow
moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow
moonshadow, moonshadow

Moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow..

did you realize
when you say things
you only thought 'bout yourself?

did you realize
no matter what you do
it always boils down to you?

did you realize
that everyday you change
without you noticing a li'l bit?

did you realize
whatever you do
is not gonna make others to like you?

did you realize
each and everyday
you are walking the same path over and over again..

without you realizing it..

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's time to grow

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly
So he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way

And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you
Even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance
Five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

i wish i could just go back to the days when everything was so simple..eventhough during that time i spent most of my times complaining about all the things that i had to do...hmmm...mase tu, i felt that it was the hardest time of my life.. when in fact, now i feel is the most difficult time of my life.. trying to get a job (!) eventhough i don't want one...just because of the pressure everyone around you is putting on you...most of the time, they don't even know they are just doing that.. how ironic is that? sometimes i just want to go someplace where no one know me.. can i do that? i know i can't..we people are so attached to others familiar to us..hard to adapt to new things, places, people, etc..

..everything was very straightforward those counting-stars-in-the-dark-nite-of-toronto days... you just go with the flow...no matter what you do, you still very much contented with the 24 hours you have in one day.. now? now i don't even know where my 24-hour-in-one-day goes...whenever i got home.. it's time to sleep... i don't even have my own time for myself anymore..of course i do... but not that much.. let's see.. hmmm.. i still have weekends..but i don't have it totally to myself.. i still have others around me...basically, my weekdays are very much dedicated to work, which i don't have any assurance of being absorbed as permanent staff.. hmmm.. i wonder where my life is heading to...

words of wisdom (or not!):
count the stars while you can..don't take simple things for granted..you don't know when you're gonna miss it..
